Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI

[dakski]

I went to the NY Reptile Expo today in White Plains, NY today.

Katie said I couldn't come home with anything live, but I did...............over 200 living things! Roaches and mealworms, etc. for the geckos . Katie got a good laugh out of that, as well as an, "ewwww." Not her favorite things.

No new pets/reptiles however. I was good.

I did see Gil, from Boakings, Behira and Jeff's breeder, and the vet tech and one of the vets from the reptile/exotics vet. Everyone asked about Behira, but reiterated, RELAX! She's pounding food, looks great, etc.

The vet said she spoke to several other vets and herpetologists from zoos and they all think this is a hormonal phase/growth spurt. Everyone said, "If she stops eating, let us know, but this should pass."

I bought Vin Russo's new book and spoke with him briefly to follow up on my previous email. He couldn't argue with that either.

Good body definition, pounding food, even in blue, and acting normal other than the shedding.

I am going with it!

Dave, that is truly wonderful news & very reassuring! It really all makes sense too...you hardly give snakes a CHANCE to be sick, & have to be content to worry
when they're excessively healthy.

BTW, congratulations on your self-restraint at the Expo...I'll bet they had some real ugly animals there.

Awww, thanks. However, yeah, I need to relax a bit. It was very reassuring.

OMG - they were all hideous.



I should say hideoussssssssssss.

Liked a few trans-pecos, but no new additions . There is well known breeder who has killer Bairds and Trans-Pecos - blonde, normal, etc. SOOOO CUTE.

I also fell in love with a 2014 Male Suriname BCC who was total sweetheart. Gil from Boakings raised him from a baby but never found the right female, so he is selling him, and wow was he beautiful and chill.

I think when Katie said, "NO NEW REPTILES!" that included a 6FT 15 pound boa, sweet or not!

Here's our own Phillydubs holding him. He (Phillydubs) is 6'3" for reference.

That's awesome, Dave. I'm glad you've gotten some reassurance on Behira. Hopefully it helps you breathe a bit easier. She's in good hands, my friend.


Nice Phil sighting too!!! I half sarcastically asked Katie if she felt like taking a drive...she literally laughed out loud when I told her where, hahaha. I guess I shouldn't press my luck with two new animals in just over 4 months (well, once the new guy arrives). Hahahahhaha.

Yeah, rub it in...you sure know how to torture me, don't you? Just out of curiosity, which breeder are you referring to? It's not like I need more snakes, but I might
check out their site pics for a little self-torture.
